Type: Bridge
Location: Town Sofia »
In Bulgarian: Орлов мост »
The Eagles`Bridge (Orlov most) in Sofia was built over the Perlovska River in 1891 by Czech architect Václav Prošek, his brother Jozef and his cousins Bohdan and Jiří, who also designed and built together the similar but lion-themed Lavov Most. The name of the bridge itself comes from the four statues of eagles on it, which are, symbolically, its protectors and patrons.
The bridge is located close to the Sofia University, the National Stadium Vasil Levski, the Monument to the Soviet Army and the park Borisova gradina.
